Sociolinguistics MaterialDefinition : Language is The most important kind of human symbolic communication system. (Hint: all societies have such a communication system even though they may be illiterate.)

 Culture is An integrated pattern of human

knowledge, belief, and behavior that depends upon the capacity for symbolic thought and social learning.(Hint : Culture is a powerful human tool for survival, but it is a fragile phenomenon. It is constantly changing and easily lost because it exists only in our minds. Our written languages, governments, buildings, and other man-made things are merely the products of culture. They are not culture in themselves.) Culture

Language

The relationship between language and culture is deeply rooted.

Language is used to maintain and convey culture and culturalties. Different ideas stem from differing language use withinone’s culture and the whole intertwining of these relationshipsstart at one’s birth. Language is the verbal expression of culture. A culture's language contains everything its speakers can think about and every way they have of thinking about things. Contoh : Sebuah kebudayaan dalam suatu daerah ingin mengungkapkan objek gambar. Dalam kebudayaan yang mereka kenal untuk sebutan “PAHLAWAN” adalah “Orang Kuat YANG suka MENOLONG”

For other example, the Latin language has no word for the female friend of a man(the feminine form of amicus is amica, which means mistress, not friend) becausethe Roman culture could not imagine a male and a female being equals, whichthey considered necessary for friendship.Conclussion :

Verbal) Reality :It is said that Japanese is an isolated language. In the past it has refused to mix up with other languages, just like the Japanese people did (Japan was closed off to the world from 1639 to 1853).

Obviously, the language represents our culture.

Because of this, Japanese people are said to be conservative, just like their language.

Apart from the language, and this is more of a cultural

thing, many Japanese national holidays are related to seasons or climate: Spring Equinox Day (March), Greenery Day (April), the day of the sea (July), Autumnal Equinox Day (September) etc. In contrast, I have heard that national holidays in the US are more related to people: Martin Luther King Jr's Birthday (January), Washington's Birthday (February) and Christmas Day (December) for example.EnD
